THE ODDS TOO GREAT.
NATIONALISM’S FAILURE. “PARTY DIES HARD.” (BV TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION .) WANGANUI, Nov. 5. Interviewed this morning regarding the election results, Mr W. A. Veitch, organiser for the National Party, said: “The Nationalists set out with the highest possible ideals of reducing the evils of party strife, and of establishing a party that would raise Parliament to. become a national conference. But the party die s hard, as the difficulties proved much too great. The long illness of our leader, Mr Wilford, the\shortage of time and funds, and the splitting of votes made success quite impossible from the beginning. Want of funds prevented us from taking platforms in reply to Ministers who did a vast amount of travelling. “Mr Coates has had a great win. I fqr one congratulate him on his success at the poll. He now has a*-great opportunity. The length of his term of office a.s Prime Minister will depend entirely on his policy and administration.”
